Miniature Pile of Shame Golf

 That's right folks, it's time for another "Matt does a painting challenge in the hopes of putting a dent in the grey tide" post.

I stumbled across this Dana Howl Video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Po3u5ukzbpU


 In short, Dana has adapted the concept of backlog golf for miniature painting. Basically, you get one point every time you buy a figure and lose one point every time you paint or sell a figure. There's bonuses for things like completing starter sets and penalties for things like buying stuff close to its release date. It's sort of what I was doing at the start of the year with the "2 out-1 in" thing but a little better defined.

The "season" starts  June 15th and ends Sept 15th.

Finish painting a model -1
Buy a model +1
Give away or sell a model -1
    (stacks with commission painting)
Complete a unit - 1 additional
Complete faction starter -5 Additional
Complete 2 player starter or board game -20 additional
Box with between 1-10 figs bought within 30 days of release +5 Points additional
Box with between 10-30 figs bought within 30 days of release +20 Points additional
Box with between 30+ figs bought within 30 days of release +50 Points additional

Buying stls doesnt add to total until they are printed.

Gifts and trading dont change point totals.

I'll be doing this with anyone in our group who wants to join in and it looks like other people might be playing on social media with #shamegolf
